Our Story and History

In 2008/2009, the financial markets were in free-fall and the majority of the country was in fear of a new Great Recession. It was during this economic downturn, that our President [Alton J. Duderstadt II], realized the need for affordable Internet marketing services was needed. Against all odds, he started offering extremely affordable digital A&M services for small, medium, and large businesses.

In the 7 years since we are still providing services to several of our first clients. They have remained with us because we deliver results and we always provided the very best services at affordable rates. Of course, we can go on and on about ourselves…but there is no fun in that. Let us know how we may be of service to you and your company. That is what we love best. Your story and the history you want to write as we move forward with our partnership.
